George Quotations | Page 10

Inside every TV star is a movie star screaming to get out, and Donna Frenzel, with whom I'm guessing you're not instantly familiar, made George Clooney a movie star once and for all in the first ten minutes of his fifth feature, 1998's 'Out of Sight.'

I remember once I had lunch with George W Bush, his father, and Condoleezza Rice. Then I went home to find my dog and my neighbour's dog fighting over a dead rabbit, and I had to separate them. I like that my home life keeps things real.

I'll just wait for a phone call from George and go on with my life until that happens,

I'll never be the biggest kind of star; I'll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can't identify the face. I don't have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott.

I know a lot of people are so excited for George Mason. It's great for college basketball. Believe me, I'm mesmerized.

I know if I'd played somewhere else, I would've scored many more points, ... but George was such a dominant player, you just had to take advantage of a force like that. And he played his heart out. In my lifetime I've seen only two centers who could just take charge of a game, who could put so much fear in other players that they stayed away from the middle. One was Bill Russell. The other, and he was even more dominant, was George Mikan.

In this film George presents issues that are important, essential and vital, whoever you are, about constitutional rights and the bedrock of a democracy. I am drawn to those kinds of stories because they inspire me - they are responsible to a populace and responsible to man.

I heard George Crumb?s ?Black Angels? and I knew that I had just heard the music that I was born to play.

I hope I have had an impact. I'm very impressed with George and how hard they play.

I hope Howard Dean is like George McGovern. I thought I was a pretty good candidate in 1972. It's true that I lost to Richard Nixon in the general election by a big margin. But that wasn't my mistake. That was the mistake of the voters

I heard these guys play at St. George earlier this year, and they mentioned they do educational programs,

I have the ideas, I have the experience, I have the record of accomplishment, ... I'm going to take on George W. Bush like no one else can.

I haven't done the things I've done to be in a sitcom. There were discussions between Paramount and someone else for a television series, but they have ended. I'm not interested in being Archie Bunker, I'm looking forward to becoming George Bush.

I really found this campaign odious. I couldn't get up for it. The quality of the candidates and the campaign, I just found the whole thing second-rate. I didn't know how to explain to my granddaughter that I was spending my dotage writing about Al Gore and George W. Bush.

I pulled back this meet to try and stay healthy for our first real test in George Mason.

I proudly place the name of the current governor of the state of Texas and the next president of the United States into nomination -- George W. Bush.

I play games on-set at work. Sometimes I can't remember people's names, so I start throwing out clues. Like if I can't think of George Clooney, I'll say, 'You know, drop-dead gorgeous, was on a big TV show... ' Until someone says his name, I can't finish my story!

In the last two and a half years, since George Bush became president, our nation has hemorrhaged 2.5 million manufacturing jobs, ... Ten percent of our manufacturing jobs have disappeared. ... Good jobs in steel and auto and textiles.

In the old days, George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway and told children they could not come in. Today, the foes of school choice stand in the doorway and say to the grandchildren of George Wallace's victims, 'You cannot get out'.

In the America's Cup, you can't go to your backup quarterback. You can't juggle your batting order. You can't fire the manager either, although Iain Murray might not be safe if George Steinbrenner were the principal owner of the Kookaburra III.

In scouting George Mason, they had been shooting 33 percent on their 3-pointers all year and as much as 42 percent. We knew we had to control their perimeter shooting. I thought we did a great job of shutting them down and keeping them off-balance.

In fact, George was so grateful they brought him back to the room that he kissed one of the young men.

If there was one fact that sent me hurtling off to write 'Politics Lost,' it was when I learned that John Kerry had focus-grouped Abu Ghraib. We knew about the Justice Department memo in June of 2004, and Kerry didn't raise that in any one of his three debates with George Bush.

I supported Barack Obama. I wasn't very quiet about my support. I thought he was going to be a refreshing change to George Bush. But what has happened is that we have an election that's become a single-issue election, and that issue is Barack Obama. And he's an icon to both sides.

Can you imagine the difference in (power teams) now that allows a team like George Mason to do this? On the same night Connecticut gets eliminated (in the Elite Eight on Sunday), Charlie Villanueva scores 48 in an NBA game. You know what year he would be at Connecticut? A junior. . . . It is all creating an overall balance. Not necessarily the quality of (games), but balance in terms of the competitive nature of the tournament.

But his greatest problem is that it is hard to see him as offering voters anything other than George W. Bush's third term. And even Bush Republicans realize that the American people don't want that.

Before you make a major sort of move, I'd like to give this team a chance to play together. George really likes this team. He loves the core group of guys. And I like them a lot, too. Sometimes it's hard being patient and waiting. But sometimes that's the best thing to do.

He's too close - he lived well into the 20th Century, ... If you look at Thomas Jefferson and presidents and Robert E. Lee and many other southerners ... They haven't been damaged. No one is going to purge Thomas Jefferson or George Washington as slave owners ... Griffith has been knocked down for propaganda - he's closer to the 20th Century. America would have a trauma if it had to purge and get rid of its founding fathers that were slave owners.

He's the best I've ever seen. I've coached against Eddie George and played against Archie Griffin - this guy's better than them. Adrian Peterson is Gale Sayers, except 215 pounds and faster.

He's put tens of millions of dollars on the air trying to persuade people that he's a nonpartisan kind of guy. But when you support George W. Bush, when you support a conservative Republican Congress, when you support George Pataki -- all of whose policies have been hurting this city, all 8.1 million of us -- he is in no way a Democrat.

I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.

I don't know if George Clooney wears the same tux over and over again. But when you're George Clooney, it's doesn't matter. He is a movie star.

I don't know if anyone could do the job George has done over there. It's been amazing.

I didn't know what I saw -- swamp gas, space ship, sundog, weather balloon. What impressed me was my parents' fear of reporting the sighting. I realized that even in our allegedly rational age many things remain unspeakable -- damned, blasphemous. George Carlin can't do his comedy on networks because the comedy depends on taboo words. We remain governed by taboo to an astounding extent.

I didn't know the facts of the case. I didn't know as much about George Ryan's history as I do today. I wish I had known more.

because he truly believes that if more people learn about George Bush, they'll see the contrast between Bush and (Vice President Al) Gore, and they'll want to vote for Bush.

Chief Justice Rehnquist will forever be remembered for his unique role in presidential history, first in presiding over the Senate impeachment trial of President William J. Clinton, and then in joining a 5-4 majority of the court to end the Florida recount and effectively award the 2000 election to George W. Bush,

By reaching the Final Four, George Mason is going through something we all dreamed about back in 1980.

He thought Saddam Hussein should be deposed, and that George Bush made a hard decision and a good one.

He's the most real, down-to-earth guy I've worked with. George is as comfortable talking to a film crew as he is talking with a director or star. He's got an old-fashioned sense of modesty and style. He's our modern-day Gary Cooper or Cary Grant.

George Young (former Giants general manager) always that when he was a member of the competition committee that one thing replay does is multiply the chances to make errors.

George would say every year, 'Well, we know 18 (NFL teams) don't have a chance,' and that's because their front offices were so messed up. When you have good ownership, it filters all the way down. But if all that up there is bad, you don't have a chance in this league. This thing is tough enough even when you have good leadership.

George Wimpey continues to benefit from having businesses in the UK and US,

George W. Bush will never seek a permission slip to defend the American people.

George W. Bush was good as his word. He visited the Gulf states 17 times; went 13 times to New Orleans. Laura Bush made 24 trips. Bush saw that $126 billion in aid was sent to the Gulf's residents, as some members of his own party in Congress balked.

George W. Bush was a very bad president. The Iraq war was a big mistake. The U.S.A. needed a political change. I hoped Barack Obama could be a good president, but I'm disappointed. He hasn't done well.

George W. Bush sided against people with disabilities in an important Supreme Court case. Now that he's running for president, he's changing his tune.

George W. Bush presided over an international network of torture chambers and, with the help of a compliant Congress and press, launched a war of aggression that killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children.

George W. Bush is very popular in Sub-Saharan Africa. Why? Because of PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief.

George W. Bush is rightfully our president-elect, ... We should not prolong a constitutional impasse that could prevent the timely transition of presidential power.

George W. Bush is long gone, and with him the idea that 'Israel can do no wrong.'

George W. Bush is a simple-minded but honest man who put too much faith in duplicitous advisors.

George W. Bush is a big spender. He has never vetoed a spending Bill. When Congress serves up a big slab of fat, crackling pork, Mr Bush responds with one big question: Got any barbecue sauce?

George W. Bush has not stood up and said that he's ready to talk about this issue, an issue that is truly worthy of debate. It's a call to action.

George W. Bush has not been there even though he is the governor of Texas. When Sen. Lieberman goes there he will be there one more time than the governor of Texas.

George W. Bush has much to evaluate: he has presided over the most sweeping redesign of U.S. grand strategy since the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

George W. Bush cares about winning elections and putting his ideological stamp on the nation, but doesn't give a hoot about governing the place.

George W. Bush and his father, President Bush, play what they call polo golf, cart golf, electric golf -- there are lots of different names for it, but basically it's blindingly fast play, ... They don't wait or dawdle between shots. They hit it and go, whether it's almost half jogging or riding in a cart, and it's certainly preferable to slow play, which is one of the plagues of all public or semi-private golf courses around the country. Golfers will know what I mean when I say that.

George W. Bush and Al Gore shouldn't be talking about who's going to blink first. They should be talking about how are we going to restore faith in democracy in the American people, because it's been sorely tested right now.

George W. Bush and Al Gore are doing foreign-language tv ads. Two men who say very little in English are now saying absolutely nothing in Spanish.

George was on top of his game on Saturday. He looked really good, stayed in form.

George was in Europe about three winters ago. On an occasion when he was seated next to a large glass window in a restaurant in Brussels, he anticipated a miserable dining experience. But the window was warm.

George Washington participated as a vestryman in his local congregation, but that didn't really imply any particular kind of religious belief. This was necessary in order to participate in the society.

George Washington had a vision for this country. Was it three days of uninterrupted shopping?

George was definitely trying to dissuade the audience from the scare he put into investors earlier this week.

George was a tough competitor who, as many golfers know, was a master with the putter. George will be missed by all who walked the fairways with him, and those of us who got to know him outside the ropes.

George was a great dunce, but no matter for that: all men do not thrive in the world according to their learning

George wants to win but he won't divide us to do it,

George Town have been the benchmark of the competition but we're just looking to go out and play some solid football early and see what transpires from that.

George told me, he gave the money to the delegates and I am sure other members of the JFF leadership know about it. I was hoping this would not go public, because it stands to hurt football, but it is true. The delegates got money for their votes, not Samuels.

George the Third / Ought never to have occurred. / One can only wonder / At so grotesque a blunder.

George the First was always reckoned / Vile, but viler George the Second; / And what mortal ever heard / Any good of George the Third? / When from earth the Fourth descended/ God be praised, the Georges ended!

George Steinbrenner owns this club, has a big investment in it, and he cares passionately about it. That is sometimes reflected in his comments. But Joe Torre gets paid to make these decisions. Some work out and some don't.

George Steinbrenner has that policy for a reason, and you have to respect that.

George spoke to Alex and his family this afternoon. It's fair to say George was thrilled.

George should be remembered as the very best at what he did. He was quite simply a football genius.

George Shinn is the major reason why I'm here, ... I really like the man and respect him. He is a modest, unassuming man who cares about the right things. The NBA is filled with generous owners, and there's no owner that's more sincerely generous. His view on the people that are in the arena and in the community and in his staff ? he's a visionary, he's a leader. He needed a manager, and I think we've formed a very formidable duo. I believe in his vision, he believes in my ability to execute, and together I think we're doing something pretty special in New Orleans.

George said I needed to start giving him something special,

George Ryan may have been greedy, but he was not stupid.

George really looked after me, ... After I left the band, I was completely isolated. It was like being on a very crowded street and then getting into a car and shutting the door. I was lonely, and he showed me so much warmth.

George put this all together, ... and I went down there so he wouldn't have to drive all the way. We could swap off driving ...

George Pataki is a Baxter, no question. But Mario Cuomo is not a Baxter.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

George Orwell, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein and almost any writer you could name received rejection letters, ... Margaret Mitchell got rejection letters from 38 different publishers before anyone finally deigned to publish her novel, 'Gone With The Wind.' How many talented writers are there who gave up without ever making it into print because of misguided rejection?

George once said to me "If we'd known we were going to be The Beatles we'd have tried harder.

George M. Low is a legendary figure for his vision and his role in developing our nation's space programs. It is a tremendous honor for us to accept this award that bears his name. This award reflects the dedication of a talented team of employees who give it their best every day, working as one team with NASA, to ensure the success of our nation's space exploration programs.

George McGovern said Hunter's coverage of the 1972 election was the least factually accurate but the most truthful portrait of the campaign. But I don't give Frey the free pass on this one. I'm old-fashioned. I like to know if something's a novel or fiction.

George Mason played really well offensively that night. We've got to have a balanced effort and try to take away their effectiveness inside and outside.

George Mason is perfect for me, ... It's three hours away and it's right near Washington, D.C. The campus is beautiful.

George Mason is just another team that wants to win as badly as we do. They deserve the Final Four. If we come in with the wrong mind-set, we won't be playing very long.

George Mason is classified as a school where there are some libertarian professors, and that makes it somewhat unusual. There are a lot of colleges not welcoming to libertarians and conservatives.

George Mason is Cinderella. Everyone is going to root for them. They're kind of the magic team right now.

George Mason is a very balanced team. They have good guards and the ability to make a lot of threes in transition and they also shoot a high percentage inside.

George Mason has been playing great. But I thought the key to the game was the 3-point line. That was one thing missing from what people were talking about.

George (Lucas) came up to me and said, 'You gave me the biggest laugh. You died brilliantly', and funnily enough everybody says the same.

George loved people. He didn't care what they did. He was always fascinated by their minds.

George Karl will give you an opportunity. You just have to capitalize on it.

George is the doctor. He allowed me to experiment in his lab.

George is probably as talented or more talented than all the national champions I've had put together. Nothing's easy, but I figured he would win Chicago Golden Gloves. Hopefully now he'll go to Omaha and win a bout or two.

George is pretty quick and athletic. Our defense really played tough.
